The first battle is over.
The reason why this battle was won was due to many factors.
On the one hand, Zhao Ziliang took advantage of the terrain and used his long-range bows to kill the opponent's troops.
Then he used this advantage and rushed into the already chaotic Arab cavalry formation.
On the other hand, Apple overestimated the combat effectiveness of himself and the cavalry he ordered.
He also made several mistakes in the command before the formation, which led to the defeat just now. .
Chu Ge, covered in blood, galloped over on horseback and said, "General, there are only one hundred and fifty men left in our army.
I have asked the soldiers to collect the lost arrows and pick up the lost weapons to prepare for the next battle."
There were more blood stains on Zhao Ziliang's body.
These blood stains were his own and those of the Dashi Cavalry, but most of them belonged to the Dashi Cavalry.
No matter how powerful a general is, he will inevitably get his hands on it when charging into battle.
After all, attacks come from all directions. , sometimes it is so annoying that generals who are extremely sensitive to crises can only rely on instinct to avoid it and try to prevent themselves from being fatally injured.
Zhao Ziliang said: "After killing 300 food cavalry, we are lucky enough to have 150 people left.
The people sent to monitor the other 200 food cavalry have returned without them."
"Not yet, but the eagle is conducting reconnaissance in the air.
News has come that the remaining two hundred cavalrymen have just climbed up the sand dunes from behind and are coming towards us.
However, because they are all piled up with sand, The marching speed is not much faster than before, and it should take about half an hour to get back."
Zhao Ziliang calculated the time and said to Chu Ge: "Immediately order the soldiers to take a short rest after collecting the lost arrows and picking up the weapons.
We will wait here for the two hundred cavalrymen to come back before dealing with them."
"Nuo" Chu Ge agreed and asked: "General, what tactics shall we use this time?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "The Dashi Light Cavalry has very fast maneuverability, no worse than us, so we do not have an advantage in maneuverability.
The opponent's advantage is that they are good at close attack combat and have strong individual combat capabilities, and our advantage is Long-distance strikes, although our combat effectiveness is not necessarily inferior to theirs in close combat, we should still use our strengths to attack their weaknesses, so that we can not only preserve our vitality, but also maximize the damage to each of our soldiers.
The distance between them should be kept at least one horse's length, so that they can turn around at any time.
We will line up here in three rows to attract them to rush down from the sand dune highlands.
When the cavalry rushes down from the sand dunes and enters the shooting range of our bows and arrows, , listen to my general's order, everyone will turn around immediately after three rounds of shooting, and use the horse-turning arrow tactic, which is the Parthian tactic, so that they can neither catch up with us, but also be shot and killed by us.
Once they stop chasing, we will immediately turn around again.
Chase".
Chu Ge nodded and said: "I understand, the general is wise."
Chu Ge is a very good captain of the guard, and he is also very capable in executing tactics, especially in executing cavalry tactics.
He is far superior to the others under Zhao Ziliang, which is why Zhao Ziliang often brings him with him.
Under Chu Ge's command and arrangement, the 150-man Tang Army cavalry, after collecting arrows and weapons, rode on horseback into a three-row formation, with fifty people in each row.
The columns of this military formation were short, The purpose of the horizontal platoon leader is to facilitate that when executing the Patiya tactics, each of the Tang Army cavalry can see the large food cavalry behind them and be able to shoot arrows better, but in such a formation There are several drawbacks and limitations.
Let’s talk about the limitations first.
Its limitation is that it requires a wide and flat terrain to form such a long horizontal queue.
It has high requirements for knights and war horses.
The knight’s riding skills must be quite exquisite, and the war horses must be able to run quickly.
That is to say, walking horse, which allows the knight to maintain a stable posture on the horse, which is of great help to the knight's archery hit rate.
Let's talk about the shortcomings.
To implement Parthian tactics, you must attract the enemy to pursue them.
When the Parthians first used this tactic, they were actually used to deal with heavy cavalry.
They attracted the enemy's heavy cavalry to come out, while their own side sent light cavalry.
The cavalry used high-speed mobility to retreat while shooting enemy heavy cavalry.
But once your own cavalry executing this tactic is overtaken by the enemy or enters the enemy cavalry's bow and arrow range, it will be tragic.
"General, the other two hundred cavalrymen are still ten miles away from here."
The Tang Army soldier responsible for surveillance reported to Zhao Ziliang with the eagle on his arm.

Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and said to Chu Ge beside him: "Send people to hang up the enemy general's corpse, throw their banner under the corpse, wait for the enemy's troops to appear, and then send a few people to pee on the banner."
Chu Ge looked strange when he heard this and said: "General, I'm afraid it's not good to do this.
Although he was an enemy soldier, he finally died a worthy death.
Are we insulting his body like this?"
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "It's all for their respective countries.
The two armies are fighting.
As long as they can win, they will do whatever it takes.
I know what you want to say.
My purpose is not to insult his body.
With It’s nothing to compete with a dead man.
I want to stimulate the remaining two hundred cavalry and their leader.
If it were you, you would see us already waiting here, and there are hundreds of your companions lying on the ground.
"Will you lead your troops to rush down easily?"
Chu Ge suddenly understood, took a deep breath and cupped his hands and said: "The general's wisdom is as deep as the sea, but his subordinates are not as deep as him."
After everything was arranged, many vultures and crows flew in the sky at some unknown time.
These vultures and crows croaked in the sky, and their wings kept flapping, bringing the sound of death.
Wherever there is death and corpses, they appear.
Vultures and crows like to eat carrion, but these corpses have just died and are still very fresh.
Fresh things are not necessarily delicacies to them.
Only when the fresh corpses start to rot can they become delicacies in their mouths, so they do not Stopping and hovering in the sky, waiting for the opportunity.
Although mostly the corpses of their enemies, the noisy vultures and crows flying around in the sky and the noise they made made no one happy.
"General, they are coming," Chu Ge reminded.
Zhao Ziliang, who was turning his head to watch the vultures and crows circling in the sky, turned back to look at the high sand dunes after hearing this.
Sure enough, he saw the figures of the large food cavalry appearing where the Tang army originally formed their formation.
The Tang army was waiting in formation under the sand dunes.
The corpses of the Big Eaters were spread all over the ground, and vultures and crows were flying in the sky.
These circumstances made the Big Eaters suspicious.
They stopped advancing at the place where the Tang Army originally formed their formation.
Start setting up the formation.
Zhao Ziliang glanced at Chu Ge.
Chu Ge immediately understood and immediately sent a few cavalrymen to run under Apple's body and urinate on the opponent's banner.
This move was naturally seen by the big cannibal.
The general who led the army was originally suspicious, but when he saw this situation, he immediately forgot about everything.
In addition, Chu Ge rushed forward with a spear pointed at The big eater shouted: "He is a cowardless gangster who dares not show his true colors to others.
He only dares to sneak up and come down to fight to the death to see who this is.
Don't you want to avenge him?
If you want revenge, come down and fight to the death.
Otherwise, go back to the Big Food Country with your tail between your legs."
Although the big eater didn't understand Chu Ge's words, Ye knew they were definitely not good words.
They were just adding fuel to the fire, and he immediately set the opponent's general on fire.
The opponent raised his scimitar and pointed forward, shouting loudly, Then he led his army and rushed down the slope.
The opponent's cavalry was well-trained and was no less impressive than Zhao Ziliang's retinue.
It was almost the same as the momentum created by Zhao Ziliang's charge down before.
This made Zhao Ziliang's face change.
In order to prevent the soldiers behind him from being confused, he Immediately shouted: "Everyone, hold still, no chaos, bows and arrows are ready."

When the Dashi cavalry were about to enter the range of their own bows and arrows, Zhao Ziliang immediately shouted: "shoot with bows and arrows three times in a row, let go" "Swish swish" "Swish swish" "Swish swish" After three rounds of arrows were missed, Zhao Ziliang immediately ordered: "Everyone turns around and implements the horseback arrow tactic."
After the order was issued, all the Tang soldiers, including Zhao Ziliang, turned their horses around in a very short time.
Due to the arrangements made in advance, the distance between each cavalry was wide enough to allow any cavalry to turn around calmly.
"Run and shoot arrows!"
Zhao Ziliang shouted, controlling his horse to gallop forward, and at the same time he drew his bow and turned around to shoot arrows at the overcoming Dashi cavalry.
This tactic has been practiced many times, and the soldiers have a tacit understanding and familiarity with the execution.
The mobility of the Tang Army's cavalry is no worse than that of the Great Food Cavalry, and the range of bows and arrows is much greater than that of the Great Food Cavalry.
Therefore, when the Tang Army's cavalry starts running faster After that, it was difficult for the Dashi cavalry to catch up with them, but they were constantly shot by the Tang army's bows and arrows.
During the pursuit, some of the Dashi cavalry kept falling off their horses, but the Dashi cavalry were reluctant to give up the pursuit.
They thought that as long as they worked harder, they could bring the Tang army into the range of their own bows and arrows, but the Tang army was unable to do so.
This keeps them hanging, always maintaining such a distance, making them unwilling to give up, but always having to bear losses.
As the two cavalry chased and escaped, they stirred up sand and dust all over the sky.
The whole sky was gray, and the shouts of killing and screams never stopped.
After chasing for more than ten miles, the Great Eaters finally realized something was wrong.
Only then did they realize that their side had lost half of their troops, while the other side had lost none.
The general leading the army suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Parthian tactics are Parthian tactics, retreat quickly, retreat quickly" How could Zhao Ziliang tolerate their escape?
When he saw that the other party had stopped chasing, he immediately ordered everyone to stop and continued to fire arrows.
When the other party retreated, he ordered the pursuit again and shot arrows at the Dashi Cavalry during the pursuit.
After first chasing and then escaping, during the whole process, the two hundred cavalrymen continued to lose money.
Until the end of the afternoon, all the cavalrymen, including the leader, were chased to death.
The eight hundred cavalrymen were really all killed.
The army was destroyed
